Cox during World War II rests on a freshly opened package from Germany. Cox traded this ring for a couple of chocolate bars while he was imprisoned in a German prisoner of war camp. The ring was returned to his son David C. Cox Jr. by a German couple through some investigative help from an American neighbor. (AP Photo/Gerry Broome)
